I was recently contacted by a casting director for ABC's The Revolution hosted by Project Runway's Tim Gunn and Extreme Makeover's Ty Pennington. She's looking for inspirational, relatable moms who have 50-100 lbs. to lose. I immediately nominated myself as a potential candidate. I'm a relatable mom and I definitely have weight to lose. I would love to be a part of this show! Of course, with Ty Pennington hosting it, I'd love to be part of the show even if it was about moms who like to wrestle alligators. What? He's easy on the eyes!Anyway, if you're interested in applying to be on the show or if you know someone who might be, you can go here to check out the details. www.therevolutioncasting.com. If you think I would be a good fit for the show, you can show your support by leaving me a comment here.Oh, you'll need to upload a full-length picture of yourself. I seriously didn't have any pictures like that because people aren't allowed to take full-length shots of me and if they do, I crop or delete them right away. How nice would it be to let myself be photographed without having to crop out everything but my head?

I think you should totally do it! You're relatable because you have kids and work and not a lot of time to really think about yourself. I hope you can do it. I haven't watched any episodes yet but I would totally DVR it if you were on :-) good luck!

Yes yes yes, they should DEF pick you for the show!! If you are on the show I will watch for sure!! (if not then no I won't watch, it's not my thing) Dawn, I think you look beautiful the way you are but if losing some weight would make YOU feel better, then you've got my support 100%! You are an AMAZING woman! I would never beable to do what you do...raising 6 kids totally on your own, working full time with other people's kids, writing, shopping, cooking...all the things that should require the help of a spouse yet you are pulling it off on your own. No one deserves this better then you and I so wish I could tell Ty that myself, face to face...except I'd likely drool all over him, lol!!! Ty, if you see this...PICK DAWN!! She deserves it plus she would make you show just AWESOME with her wit and humor. Pick Dawn, pick Dawn, pick Dawn!!!

well if they pick you dawn, I promise to watch every single episode!!!! they would be silly not to pick you, not that you have all that weight to lose, but because you are pretty! they need to pick pretty people, and funny doesn't hurt either :o)

I think you would be perfect for the show!! I would totally watch it if you were on, although I have never heard about it before now. I think you would bring a lot of fun without being annoying. I know a lot of other moms could relate to you and your struggles and it would help them, too! Good luck!

I vote for Dawn. Now I would never say she needs to lose 50 to 100 pounds.But Dawn believes she could lose some weight. I would love to see you help Dawn to have this experience. Please help my friend Dawn.

If you really need to lose 50-100 lbs, then you carry your weight pretty well, which is a good thing, but since you think you do, I'm ALL for you on The Revolution! I think you'd be their B.E.S.T. makeover to date, if not ever! You're funny, nice, and I want you to be happy with yourself, so if you want this, I want this for you! Pick Dawn, producers!!!

Hi Dawn! I love your blog and would definitely watch The Revolution if you were on it! It would be great to see someone I "know" on tv, plus you are so right about Ty Pennington! I hope they pick you!Heather B.

You would be AWESOME on this show! Not only are you relatable to moms everywhere but you are endearing and HILARIOUS... which would get me to watch, a chidless single woman with some pounds to shed. I think it's super promising that they contacted you... I hope you get it!!! :)

So I'm guessing that they mean the 50-100 lbs has to come off of you, right? If not, your youngest has to be at least 50 lbs! Haha! In all seriousness, I think you are fabulous! And truly an inspiration to all of us moms! Good luck!!!

You should totally be on The Revolution!! It would be beneficial for both you AND the show: you'd get help getting healhier, AND the show's ratings would go up since you are so popular and your fans would all tune in to see you! :)

I've been watching the Revolution ever since OLTL went off the air and my favorite segments have always been the weight loss/lifestyle changes. You SO deserve this-personal attention!! Good luck Dawn!!

Ok, I just went and applied too, but I'm nervous just thinking about it - I'm not sure I could do the whole embarrassing half-naked shots for all the world to see! I mean, my husband barely knows how much I weigh, and I want to put it out there on national TV? Hmm... But, I thought, hey, if I got to meet Dawn that would be cool! I don't know if we'd meet, but still. Good luck! I'm going to find it and DVR it since I've never even heard of it till I read about it on your blog!
